5.3 Function

5.3.1 Air Displacement Pipetting Arm (Air LiHa)

Purpose of Air The Air LiHa is a pipetting arm for general pipetting tasks. Aspiration and dispense of liq-
LiHa uids are based on air displacement.
Tip Servo motors move the tips in X, Y or Z-direction.
Movements
The pipetting tips can be moved independently in Z-direction. In Y-direction, equidistant
tip spreading is possible. This enables the arm to pipette e.g. from vessels with a small cav-
ity spacing (such as a microplate) to vessels with a larger cavity spacing (such as a tube
rack) with all tips simultaneously.
